Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

I am trying to obtain a refund for a service agreement I purchased from an automobile dealership. The deal was that if there were no claims it would be refunded to me. For some reason they want me to sign a power of attorney:

The undersigned, Gary McKinney, hereafter called �insured�, for the consideration of checks paid to the �insured� in lieu of ERG claim, does hereby grant to said Geweke Ford-Kia or Geweke Toyota to sign or endorse any check and/or draft made payable to insured, and any releases thereto, as settlement for insured�s claim to ERG.

Is it necessary for them to obtain this power of attorney, or am I putting myself at unnecessary risk because they have no right or legitimate need for a power of attorney?

Doesn't make sense. You should ask for their reasoning. Also tell them you will sign whatever documents or checks you feel like signing, they shouldn't be signing for you.
